Exactly. Next contract cycle will be a 10% raise in exchange for expanding the use of non-seniority instructors. Cycle after that we get a 20% B-plan for even more expansion.
Next thing you know, we are in a serious downturn that guts our contract, yet TK is still magically full of non-United pilots doing the instructing.
